Better Details for BSON Deserialization Errors about bson-rust HOT 5 OPEN

Yes, please. The current errors are not very helpful at all and I had to trial-and-error myself through this.
Feels bad, man.

We recognize that the current error messages aren't great; unfortunately, the way serde is set up makes it tricky to include path or other source location. This is definitely on our roadmap, though - you can follow https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUST-1246 for updates.

Thanks! Is it possible for me to somehow utilize dtolnay/path-to-error or would this need to be incorporated in this crate?

from bson-rust.

I'm in the same situation. I like your idea @clarkmcc of using dtolnay/path-to-error. Have you figured out how to implement it? If not have you found any other solution/workaround?

@jaredtmartin unfortunately I don't have a solution for this but yes, it's a real pain to deal with.
